Raiata lies in the Society Island archipelago. It’s capital, Utaroa is right at the harbor and easy to walk around in. Immediately at the port, you’ll have access to car rentals, safari rides, scooters, etc. There are also shops at the port. It is 92 miles around the island, so it’s probably easier to pick a part of the island to visit rather than trying to see it all in a day. The coastline is predominantly rocky, so Raiatea isn’t known for its beaches. I found a public beach and some snorkeling along the coast within walking distance of the dock. For white sand beaches, you can take a boat, or even a kayak to a motu nearby. A motu is an unihabited island. Raiatea is also known for its sacred Mare Taputapuatea which is said to be fortified with mana (life force).
